    copied!<p>I wrote a CMS in PHP. It works fine on most servers but I encountered a strange problem on my latest hosting account. This is either a path problem or a coding problem. The latter seems to be OK as this script works fine on all my other accounts, which is why I'm asking for help.</p> <p>When I first install my CMS tool I run a script called "inventory.php" in which I attempt to get and display all the directories on the server from the location of my script, which is 2 or 3 directories down from the root, depending on the server. I try to use a global path that goes up to the root and from it to return all the directories it can find. If this file works then the entire CMS works; if not... well that's why I'm here. </p> <p>Here's the code that scans the directories:</p> <pre><code>$main_root = realpath('../../'); echo '&lt;b style="color:orange;"&gt;All The dirs on this server:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br&gt;'; $whats_on_the_server = array_filter(glob($main_root.'/*'), 'is_dir'); foreach($whats_on_the_server as $on_server) { $on_server = trim($on_server); if(stristr($on_server,'.')){ $arr1 = preg_split('^/^',$on_server); echo $arr1[4].'&lt;br&gt;'; } } </code></pre> <p>The root is: chroot/home/account/ under which all my folders are located. I can't run a script from that directory, so I must access it from elsewhere. This works fine on other servers but on the one I currently use, it doesn't return anything if the path is set as above. It gets the directory contents if I set the path to a subfolder on the specific server, such as:</p> <pre><code>$main_root = realpath('../../SomeDir'); </code></pre> <p>I must however get the name of all the directories located on the root.</p>
